In The Orchard King, Justin King, the imposing proprietor of a North Island orchard, is quick to suspect anything that comes his way. Neither he nor anyone else believes that Mary has merely come to admire his blossoms. Yet she arrives with a secret she keeps hidden by the sight of a manicured garden. When a vindictive rival, Rochelle, presses Mary, her carefully woven lies begin to fray. The tension escalates as Justin’s suspicion grows tighter, and Mary must decide whether to reveal her truth or continue to deflect. The outcome determines whether the orchard keeper’s trust will be broken or restored. The novel delves into themes of trust, deception, and the complexities of human motives, set against the picturesque backdrop of New Zealand’s North Island.
